HOW TO FIX PRIVATE MODE

NOTE: These instructions are for STOCK ROM using chainfire's system less cf-autoroot on the SPRINT GALAXY NOTE5 (SM-N920P). This might help for other Samsung devices but this is written for the mentioned model only. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE TO YOUR SOFTWARE, DEVICE, CAT, DOG, DRAGON, HOME, COUNTRY, PLANET OR SOLAR SYSTEM. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

1.) Install Xposed Framework (follow this thread: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960 - use sdk22 arm64)

2.) Download module "Wanam Xposed for Android 5.x.x" - VERSION 1.3.0 OR NEWER

3.) Run Wanam Xposed and activate option Security hacks>Disable secure storage

4.) Using a file explorer that can access root with r/w permission, Delete the following folders:

- /data/data/com.samsung.android.personalpage.service
- /data/privatemode
- /data/system/secure_storage/com.samsung.android.personalpage.service

And delete the file:

/data/system/users/privatemode_edk_1000

5.) ACTIVATE THE WANAM XPOSED MODULE in Xposed

6.) Reboot

Private Mode should now work :)

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonixxx:
Alright, I know the Z5 is supposed to bootloop a few times (AndroPlus says 2-3 times in his rooting thread) before it'll boot with Xposed installed, but after installing the framework, mine just bootloops indefinitely.

I've tried several times on different firmwares (32.0.A.6.152 and 32.0.A.6.209 Customized_US) and with different Xposed versions (xposed-v79-sdk22-arm64.zip and xposed-v80-sdk22-arm64.zip). Each time, I let it bootloop 5+ times for good measure. Each bootup, it'll load the wallpaper, then load SystemUI, and then freeze shortly after, followed by a reboot. It does this perpetually and will not boot all the way. I have no Xposed modules nor the Installer installed on the phone, so there should be nothing interfering with the bootup in that regard. I have tried with the Xposed Installer installed beforehand as well.

The only other advice I've found online is a couple articles that suggest this old modified Xposed package "xposed-v74-sdk21-arm64-dl12345-UNOFFICIAL-20150929.zip" for Z3, Z4, and Z5 that bootloop when installing Xposed, but I'm hesitant to use a dated version and one that's for an older SDK as well. Plus, the threads on XDA recommend the latest Xposed version as working.

The phone is rooted, obviously, with SuperSU 2.46 and running AndroPlus kernel, which shouldn't be a problem. I do have a bunch of system apps (bloatware) that are uninstalled and some disabled, but I don't see why that would cause an issue. I honestly cannot think of anything else that would be causing this to not work. Really hoping someone here has experienced the same and knows the solution. I'm also curious: how many times have others had to let their device bootloop before successfully booting with Xposed?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arismelachrinos:
i have installed it 3-4 times on my phone , and every time , it only bootlooped once. but then i manually rebooted just to be sure. i dont really know what causes yours to bootloop, did you try wiping cache and dalvik after installation? does your device optimize apps on startup?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonixxx:
Thanks for the response. Yeah, I've tried wiping cache and dalvik after installing, before rebooting. It does go through optimizing every single app on the first boot after clearing cache, and doesn't on the subsequent reboots, which is just as is expected.

And I have also tried manually powering off the phone from the power dialog while it was booting, before it could freeze and bootloop itself. It made the device shut down gracefully, then I let it sit for about 15 minutes and turned it on, but the results were the same as well.

Hello.

I`ve a Moto X 2014 wich a broken screen. It was working nicely till it hit the ground again =p

now i can power it on, touch is responsive (normal), everything is okay but the screen won`t turn on no matter what i do. I believe it may be some kind a sensor problem or something. I can even plug the phone on usb and copy data, etc...if the screen worked it would be okay to use.

Is there anything i can try before sending it to repair (its f**** expensive).

Thanks.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pablobhz:
OKay my friend.. I got it.

But i think you misunderstood a part of what i said - i can't turn the screen on.

The phone power on, etc, i can hear the sounds, volume keys working, touch is responsive...but the screen is black all the time.

Tried connecting it to the PC but it seems debug mode is disabled or something (adb won't work).

Android Device Manager doesn't show my device ;\ but i'm pretty sure its on my account.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arcaed:
Hey XDA,

My Nexus ha been a dream. Though I've hit a few bumps, I don't expect to waste money on other flagships again.

I don't need to be able to right this instant, but wiping cache is one of my regular troubleshooting tools. Upon troubleshooting an MMS issue I was having, I discovered my recovery wasn't working properly. Though I fixed the MMS issue by resetting APN settings, the recovery thing has been bothering me.

I am running stock and locked. I have done nothing to this phone to warrant it being my fault. The problem is simple (and a Google search indicated, common). When you get to Recovery, you get a droid on its back, a red exclamation mark and "NO COMMAND". Doesn't matter if you hold up and power, tap up, or get there from the bootloader. The recovery software is seemingly missing completely.

I have an extended warranty through the retailer I bought from, but the phone is otherwise fine, so this is a last resort.

My dilemma is that I want to use Android pay. My understanding is that even unlocking the bootloader breaks Android pay. Is this correct? If so, can one reliably reset the phones security trips to allow Android pay after flashing the recovery back on?

Thanks for the help.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celsian:
No, unlocking the boot loader does not block Android Pay.

There is a systemless root method for the Nexus that allows you to use Android Pay while rooted, there are also a couple of ROMS that have it working currently as well.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arcaed:
Quite so? Can you provide links to the root method and mayhaps the roms? Does this mean I could slap TWRP on here with no consequence?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toknitup420:
Android pay already patched systemless root. If you want Android pay don't root. You can unlock though. That will not affect Android pay.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arcaed:
Does this mean that I can't flash at least a stock recovery?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bartws95:
Download your system image, unzip it, unlock your bootloader and flash only the recovery.IMG in fastboot, then relock your bootloader again. Android Pay will work fine and your warranty won't be affected so long as you relock your bootloader
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toknitup420:
Yes. Myself I would flash full image and start over fresh. But you can go with just recovery if you want. Also do not forget to check allow oem unlock in dev settings before attempting to unlock. If you want twrp you will need modified stock boot image with DM verity removed. Or else it won't boot. I can link you to one from the newest image if you'd like. But if you only want stock recovery you don't need anything other than stock Google image.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Stig 04:
Sorry, but are you saying if I wanted to install twrp I would need a modified stock boot img?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toknitup420:
Yes.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arcaed:
In that case, where do I get a full system flash?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
There are quite a few errors in the information given in this thread.

1. Unlocking the bootloader does not break Android Pay.

2. Android Pay has been patched so you can't have root with Android Pay, even systemless.

3. TWRP recovery does not require a modified boot.img.

4. Flashing any recovery (Stock or TWRP) will not affect Android Pay at all.

If you need directions on unlocking or flashing check my guide:

Actually AP now works with systemless root again. I have AP working (yes actually making purchases), currently running the latest Chroma Rom with Supersu 2.61

I'm sure Google will patch it again though.

I've always been under the impression that the device will not boot with twrp installed unless you have DM verity checks removed. Has something changed with that.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
It isn't necessary. I'm on my eighth Nexus 6P and I haven't flashed any modified boot.img prior to flashing TWRP.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dratsablive:
I can second this. I have systemless root, and AP working, confirmed with purchases. Just a note, if you can successfully add a card, that means it has to contact your bank for approval, therefore it should confirm AP is working.
[Meizu MX] Jinen_A:
Hi,

Bought the Meizu MX4 Pro recently. But upon first switch on, i got the screen showing: battery < 20%, cannot proceed with upgrade.

Now, once the battery was charged, i got the recovery screen to update and clean (With Flyme Logo), or to restart. Upon choosing restart, it stuck on the Flyme logo rotating...

I have downloaded the Flyme OS (5A, 4.5.7A, 4.5.7.1A, 4.5.7I) and placed it in the recovery drive of the mobile when connecting to a pc... but each and everytime, the screen shows checking firmware, then Firmware corrupt sign appears...

Thanks to point me in right direction... or what steps i need to follow to restore the mobile...

Thanks,

Jinen

Just got a notification of an update on my ATT h810.. Can't check it out bc of no WiFi... Can anyone chime in on this one? I briefly scoured the forums and haven't seen anything on it. Forgive me if I'm late to the party.

EDIT: http://m.androidcentral.com/marshmallow-finally-hitting-lg-g4-att States the update rolling out.

it is indeed MM. https://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/wireless/KB426794
[G4 General] InflatedTitan:
Awesome. I been wanting to factory reset my phone to have it fresh again. Good thing I waited.

I take it I should hold off until its rooted eh
[G4 General] shinji257:
Working on actually capturing this OTA although I'm sure someone beat me to it already. Using download mode to hijack root since I never rooted my device. Found an easy way into download mode while I was at it. XD

EDIT: Looks like it is one of AT&T's dlpkgfile bits. It is what I got so I'm going to post it on mediafire when I get a chance. Still not noticing if someone already did it. Looks like you can use it to force ota update like on the G2 or similar with AT&T.

For those wondering I found you can enter download mode while in the OS by running Send_Command against the diag port that is still open even in normal mode. You have to be in MTP usb mode to see it though. When you run the command type ENTER and press enter. It will quit and a few minutes later it will reboot to download/diagnostic mode on its own. After that run the command again and copy whatever you want to keep to /data/local/tmp. chmod the files to 777 so that it can be read/retrieved in normal mode then type LEAVE to reboot back to normal (no battery pull needed). When accessing files in diagnostic mode you must use full path locations. For some reason cd command doesn't do anything. In theory you could upload my ota files back to the phone then copy them to /cache/fota and execute the task from the system when in the android OS.

EDIT: OTA capture upload -- http://www.mediafire.com/download/cc86c5dx6xzz2pt/LG_G4_H810_ATT_Android_6.0_OTA.zip
[G4 General] thecrunked:
can anyone confirm that the MM build can be rooted with the normal method: http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586

and is xposed working on 6.0?
[G4 General] shinji257:
Root isn't possible on 6.0 without a bootloader unlock. LG closed the loophole in download mode.
[G4 General] InflatedTitan:
I'll just have to live with the annoying notification until we find root I suppose..
[G4 General] Sammae7:
Is any other AT&T user having trouble with their physical power button working after the update? I updated last night at three times so far I've had to repeatedly hit the power button before the screen would turn on.
[G4 General] uly609:
why don't you just restore using the 10o TOT? that will get rid of any traces of root then take the MM OTA.

Can anyone confirm that this update to Marshmallow for the G4 H810, will allow the FM Radio to work? I know sometime ago they talked about this http://www.techtimes.com/articles/7...artphone-makers-to-turn-on-fm-radio-chips.htm
[G4 General] shinji257:
No. This update does not enable access to an FM Radio chip in the phone. Either there isn't one or it is still inactive inside the device.

Tested using NextRadio from Google Play.
[G4 General] Spectre51:
How can we flash this its manually that you captured? I'm not getting the update as being available for me.
[G4 General] DebbieNY13:
Been a while since I've been here, as when I got my G4 there were hardly any threads in the forum for this device. Got the Marshmallow update yesterday from LG (software version H81020N). So far, things appear to be working normally. Noticed the touch screen is more sensitive, but not much else yet.

I haven't reset the phone yet, as I was at work when it updated and I didn't have time to reinstall everything. Is a reset required?
[G4 General] bovoro:
I think we can flash it via cache/fota folder , in older LG G version phones thats was an option, but you need to have rooted your G4 , my G4 is virgin never rooted, you think can we use "CACHE FOLDER" method this time ?
[G4 General] shinji257:
You should be able to use the diagnostics mode route that is used to root the device in the first place as long as you are still on lollipop. Just keep in mind that hole gets closed as soon as you go to marshmallow. Same steps apply except you would adb push the files to /data/local/tmp before going into diagnostics mode then move the files to /cache/fota once in diagnostics mode.

EDIT: You have root while in diagnostics mode which is probably why LG closed it up in the marshmallow release in the first place.
[G4 General] bovoro:
you suggest that I can use the method of diagnosis mode, to force the update using which commands? i have the dlpkgfile with their propers permissions same as /Cache/recovery folder permission

Which command you suggest to use ?

am start -n com.lge.lgfota.permission/com.lge.lgfota.permission.DmcEzUpdateStart
[G4 General] Sammae7:
So I assume I'm the only one having issues with Marshmallow?

I have trouble turning my screen on and off, my Gmail will not sync up, and my mobile data is struggling to work. Pages barely load, taking much longer than before and I constantly get a no connection error with my Gmail.
[G4 General] InflatedTitan:
Bc I want root lol... Ive forced myself to live with locked bootloader and no development... But I refuse to go without root....

Shinji hello, Excuse me, what do you mean execute task in the android os? which task?

No this means your bootloader is locked and you can unlock it.. If it was unlocked it would have shown

For recovery power on your phone and when you feel the first vibrate or see the Sony logo keep pressing the volume up or down button continuously.. Then you will enter recovery..

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] danielherrero:
Hi all.

I have a HTC Athena for daily use and others for developing and testing (Tynt, s200, p3300 and Universal) and I ve the posibility to get a cheap kaiser. My question (not easy)is..

"...Should I replace my Athena with kaiser??"

Athena strong points against kaiser.

1) SCREEN SCREEN SCREEN

2) a better Keyboard?

Athena weak points agains kaiser

1) Worst gps

2) very bulky.

3) My headsets makes me crazy many times.

4) touchflo?

I would like to listen other thoughts about it....

Thanks¡ :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] marcoma:
I actually have both but am considering selling the Athena as it proved to be just a bit too big for my daily use... I just need to be able to put it into a pocket (even if it bulges out) every once in a while - something I couldn't do with the Athena, especially not in the leather 'case'. And I'm not a big fan of the 'quick-draw-western-style' holsters for the belt...

I've had the Kaiser only for a very few days and have found a few bugs, but they are not deal-breaking for me... and I'm enjoying the form-factor...

Functionality-wise I think they are very similar... apart from the VGA-resolution screen on the Athena.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] danielherrero:
Thanks Marcoma.

Apart of form-factor, do you appreciate more improvements in kaiser not present in athena (speed, phone speed, battery live, etc, etc).?

I think I would miss the vga screen too much :(

Dani
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] marcoma:
Well - the speed does seem a bit faster, but then again it is only driving a 320 x 240 resolution... I am able to watch movies again which is really nice (have to use an adapter for the headphones though since it doesn't have that nice 3.5" plug like the Athena) and I benchmark around 145 - 170% in Coreplayer.

Remember the actual CPU is slower than the Athena (520 - 620MHz if I remember correctly).

I don't find the phone a lot faster, but I didn't use the phone itself that often... the battery lasts about as long as I got out of the Athena... depending on the usage 1 - 2 days. if you watch movies, use GPS etc. it's a day - no more

What is very nice is the application that comes bundles where one just takes a picture of a business-card and it OCR's the picture and puts it right into contact - pretty darn accurate and way cool (and for me actually useful).

Overall, i feel it's like the Athena, just in a smaller package...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] nuclear:
I had a HTC Advantage X7500. I returned that to mobileplanet for a full refund $1100. Now I own a HTC Kaiser TyTN II $750. I would call Kaiser the best available in its size group.

I disliked a few things in the HTC Advantage X7500. High Price, Battery not highly upgradable, Size, Weight, Portability,

When HTC Advantage X7500 prices drop I will go back for it. I love the fact that you can upgrade its microdrive and it supports miniSDHC. HTC Athena is a good device for modding.

I have seen a lot of people who are in the Kaiser community who are no more in the Athena community.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Confucious:
Not used a kaiser but..

Worst GPS? Why?

touchflo?

better keyboard? not tried kaiser but prefer Universals.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] danielherrero:
Well, finally got a kaiser.

1) Screen is qvga, logically

2) GPS is much much better.

3) Fits in my pocket.

4) Keyboard is good but Athena's one is better.

5) I can forget my headset if not necesary

....

I am happy with It but I wouldnt pay 650€ for a kaiser if I already ve an Athena....
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] chainbolt:
speed? The Athena has clearly the faster processor and running the same OS (assuming WM6) why should Kaister be faster?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] stryker1355:
Im in a similar boat, T-mobile upgrade is due, using a hermes, considering the Athena, but feel the Kasier is what I need. I really love reading all the athena stuff, and feel its a great device but on a daily basis ill just go crazy. Found an old diary which is about the same dimensions of the Athena, and kept carrying it everywhere to imagine what it would be like using the athena. Anyways I am gonna pop into a T-mobile shop and see what deals are available on both and then decide. Its more like Loving this hot babe, but knowing you cant live with her... LoL..
